Coming Back to You
Leonard Cohen

Coming Back to You
Testo
Testo
Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you
Ah they're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Tho' the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
And they're handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you
Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Coming back to you
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you
Ah they're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Tho' the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
And they're handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you
Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Coming back to you
Ritornando da te

Forse sto ancora soffrendo
Non riesco a porgere l'altra guancia
Ma sai che io ti amo ancora
É solo che non riesco a esprimermi
Ti ho cercata in ogni persona
E mi è stato pure chiesto di dimostrarlo
Ho vissuto da solo ma sto semplicemente
Ritornando da te
Ah, ora stanno chiudendo la fabbrica
proprio quando bisogna pagare le bollette
E i campi sono chiusi a chiave
Sebbene la pioggia e il sole riescano a passare
E la primavera arriva e poi si ferma
In nome di qualcosa di nuovo
E tutti i miei sensi si ribellano a questo
Ritornare da te
E stanno consegnando la mia condanna ora
E so ciò che devo fare
Un altro miglio in silenzio mentre sto
Ritornando da te
Ci sono molte persone nella tua vita
e moltre altre ce ne saranno
Dato che tu sei una luce splendente
Ci sono molti che tu vedrai
Ma io devo combattere contro l'invidia
Quando scegli quei pochi eletti
Che hanno lasciato il loro onore dall'altra parte del
Ritorno da te
Anche tra le tue braccia lo so
che non riuscirò mai a capire
Anche quando ti pieghi per darmi
conforto nella notte
Devo avere la tua promessa
o niente di questo sarà vero
E tutto quello che ho detto l'ho detto invece di
Ritornare da te
Non riesco a porgere l'altra guancia
Ma sai che io ti amo ancora
É solo che non riesco a esprimermi
Ti ho cercata in ogni persona
E mi è stato pure chiesto di dimostrarlo
Ho vissuto da solo ma sto semplicemente
Ritornando da te
